60 Free Hipster Fonts for 2018

A hipster is a person who stays updated with the latest trends; someone who is hip. Yet another definition for hipster means having a retro or a throwback vibe. Quite confusing, to be honest, but in graphic design and typography, being “hipster” may mean having a unique and somewhat vintage look without being outdated.

I think of it as in between the old and the new. Old in the sense that the designs aren’t too flashy or high-tech looking, but new because instead of looking grimy or way too grungy, the designs retain texture without looking antiquated. I believe that simplicity plays a huge role on having a hipster design and for fonts, certain typefaces look more hipster than others.

Remember the typefaces you saw on pinup posters or those which come from black and white photos?

Those are hipster fonts.

Hipster fonts remind me of the days when speedball pens and paintbrushes were used to achieve appealing fonts. Stencil-type letters are also great candidates for hipster-looking texts. Calligraphy fonts can be considered hipster as well.

When you’re looking for something which isn’t mainstream, more unique, and charming in its own quite old but kinda new way, I believe the following fonts are for you. Below you will find 60 fonts that scream hipster.

If you have presentations which need that bit of a hipster touch or perhaps you’d like to make a card with that hipster vibe, you can use these fonts for your project and make your finished product look instantly hipsterific. Remember to play a bit with the colors and maybe even try combining these fonts with various textures to give your work a unique. Good luck!
